SigmaOS is planning to monetize its AI features, offering all users access to AI-powered features, but charging $20 per month for better rate limits and $30 per month for unlimited usage and the choice between different models. The company is also developing an AI-agent-like feature for hands-free browsing and is considering the creation of "repeatable flows," automatic actions based on triggers like time. SigmaOS's competitor, Arc, also plans to build an AI agent that browses the web. SigmaOS, which has raised $4 million from investors, aims to gain traction with this launch and prepare for its next funding round.
